Amazing place to hike the AT. We hiked the area a number of times in all seasons from Lemon Gap, Garenflo Gap and in winter just from the Max Patch Parking lot. It is super windy on the top especiall…Full review by AT-Donna

Wolf Creek Falls? I don’t see anything on here about the falls. I’ve found things when I google it. But I want to hear from people who have been there. We’ll be in a Jeep so I don’t mind the rough roads. I’ve read that it’s across the TN border and about a slow 40 minute drive from Max Patch. If you’ve been there, tell me if it’s worth it.

I didn't go to the falls but if you are wondering about road conditions and you are in a Jeep, you'll have no problem. The roads are usually graded and have sufficient width. The tough part are the curves that never seem to end. Drive slowly and you'll be fine.
I am looking to hike this right before the sun sets to catch the views as the sun goes down and star gaze for a little after. I am interested to hear thoughts about making it back to the parking lot in the dark? Of course, we will have lights with us, but does anyone have any reason why we should not do this? The sun will set around 5:30pm and we will likely head back to the car around 7pm. Thanks!
A:
Shouldn't be a problem. Path is well marked. Take picture of map at entrance before going.
We are planning on taking engagement pictures mid October on a Saturday. Is the bald going to be so crowded that it ruins the pictures?
A:
You may have a problem getting good photos without people in the background on the weekend. You would have no problems on a week day this time of year.
